This is explicitly an auction ('asta immobiliare'), which is a veto red flag for this catalog. The listing also conflicts with the 'Habitable' label: only the smaller unit is finished, while another portion is still rustico/grezzo with lapsed permit and sanable abuses, so the apparent €446/m² headline is not a clean comparable deal.
More on the house and the area
This is a practical, sizeable house with garden space and a decent detached-villa feel, but it is not especially beautiful or memorable in the photos. The finished portion looks genuinely habitable, while a significant part of the property remains unfinished, which keeps the wow firmly in the mid range. The low €/m² helps the appeal more than the aesthetics do.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€37,000 – €65,000
Wiring, water and sanitary work of any kind, heating, air conditioning and gas go to a registered firm by law, and so do flues and the air openings for gas appliances. That labour stays in the bill. Yours is the stripping out, plaster, paint, floors, tiling and carpentry.
Labour is 61% of a renovation price on average and 67% at the median, across 191 items of the Emilia-Romagna 2025 public price list. Materials are the rest. An averaged price list, not a quote.
Materials you buy yourself carry 22% VAT; supplied by the firm doing the work they go at the 10% renovation rate. On a €30,000 materials bill that is €3,600 of extra tax.
Household wiring installed before 13 March 1990 counts as compliant if it has a main breaker with overcurrent protection, protection against direct contact and a 30 mA RCD. Having a firm bring the existing wiring up to that and certify it is the cheapest lawful route.
- Only part of the bifamiliare is finished; the larger portion is still rustico/al grezzo.
- Sanabili abusi and lapsed building permit are mentioned, so legal/regularization work is likely.
- Interiors look dated and cluttered rather than immediately aspirational.
- No proven view or standout architectural character in the photos.
Estimate from the listing and its photos, not a survey. Treat it as the starting point for your own quotes. An Italian builder's quote is normally written without VAT and without design fees, so add about a quarter to any figure a firm gives you.
The area around
Location score 55/100The cluster is in the built-up area of Viterbo, so the setting is an urban edge rather than open countryside. The Cimini Mountains rise just south-east of the city. Lake Bolsena lies to the north-west, with the volcanic Lake Vico in the Cimini range closer to the south-east. The area is part of the Tuscia volcanic plateau, with tuff landscapes, cultivated hills, hazelnut groves and thermal waters. Viterbo itself is the nearest town of size and has a large medieval centre, the Papal Palace and thermal baths. The city is known for its medieval quarter and for the Macchina di Santa Rosa, listed by UNESCO as intangible heritage.
